The common snouted frog (Edalorhina nasuta) is a frog. It lives in Peru.[2][3][1]
Body
The adult frog is 32 - 38 mm long from nose to rear end. It is hard to see because it looks like a leaf. The frog is brown in color. There are bumps on its back in the shape of an X. The nose has a sharp piece sticking out. There is some webbed skin on the back feet.[3]
Name
Scientists named the frog nasula, which means "long-nosed" in Latin.[3]
Home
This frog lives on the ground. People see it on the dead leaves on the ground in forests. Scientists have seen the frog between 220 and 1,000 m (720 and 3,280 ft) above sea level.[3][1]
Scientists have not seen the frogs in any protected places, but they think it might live in Yanachaga-Chemillén National Park or El Sira Communal Reserve.[1]
Young
Scientists think this frog lays eggs in nests made out of bubbles.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say they do not know if the frog is in danger of dying out. Some of the frogs may be in danger when human beings change the places where the frogs live to make farms, for example coffee farms.[1]
